MnDOT Library Hosts Session for Summer Transportation Camp

by Marilee Tuite

On July 13, MnDOT Library staff gave a one-hour session to 30 middle school students who are participating in a free summer camp called the National Summer Transportation Institute. Organized by the University of Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies, this two-week camp aims to introduce younger students to different areas of transportation and potential careers.

During the library session, staff presented the Top 5 Reasons Why People Use MnDOT Library. One of the top reasons was that MnDOT Library saves time and supports transportation and engineering work. Then students interacted with the library collection during a brief tour and a relay-style scavenger hunt.

The students also tour St. Croix River Crossing, MSP airport, Metro Transit, St. Paul Port Authority, RTMC, UPS, and a few engineering labs at the University of Minnesota, in addition to practicing skills in research, public speaking, and writing. See more details at http://www.cts.umn.edu/education/prospective/summercamp.
